okay guys... i might be getting as big job soon... that measns new case and some moeny for bits... and attempted overclock !
i have a thermal take Big water SE
which IMO ofor 50 quid is fantastic

now... i want to upgrade it... where shal i start. i already have my eyes on the swiftech 2x120mm radiator with two silenx fans... ( noise is a BIG issue with me :)

but i dont know much about H2o and how to get the best out of it... i dont know wether a new bloc, pump or rad is the answer but i kinda want to keep the block as itjust looks COOL !

i nealry always have the fan on my raditor on the lowest setting for noise issues( it seems to be a standard thermaltake fan with orange blades if that helps ? ). so would two 120mm silenx fnas be the answer?

i really dont know what to do hence the questions :)
thanks in advance

I really hope your new job isnt anything to do with spelling, lol :D

But anyway on a more serious note, the thermaltake volcano 4005 liquid block and thermaltake aquabay M2 2U 12CM radiator would be great additions to your loop, and why not throw in a thermaltake water temp indicator so you can monitor your temps.

i do like the volcano. but boy willt hat take up some space ! maybe a little pricey too ?
and yea im a sucker for looks too so the aqua bays would be cool but im just looking for better performance i think.

ive just been havvign a gander at a gigabyte aurora case in a local shop... ive fell in love with it and its spcae for a double 120mm rad on the back...
do you think the rad can make a bigger difference than the block, or vice versa... or both the same ?
im still open to suggestions though :)

how does the speed of the water effect it too ? i would have thought slower would be better... or am i wrong... i really would love to understand watercooling more :)

cheers
